Section 11  :Soft matter: synthesis, development, assemblies, structure, properties, functions

Keywords

Sub-disciplines:
a) Chemistry of polymers and self-assembled objects.
b) Physical chemistry and engineering of soft matter.
c) Supra and macromolecular materials.
d) Physics (experimental, theoretical and simulation) of soft matter and biological systems taking into account physicochemical characteristics of the studied systems.

Fields of application:
a) Self-assembled systems and complex fluids such as surfactants, polymers, gels, liquid crystals, colloids, thin films, interfaces, foams, emulsions.
b) Design, synthesis, processing, shaping, assembly, properties and durability of polymers, biopolymers, biomaterials and composites.
c) Biological systems and bio-inspired or reconstituted systems at the molecular, cellular and tissue scales. Active gels: emergence of form, movement, function.
